As the amount of space debris in orbit increases, so does the risk that some of it will collide with manned and unmanned space assets. It is estimated that around one million pieces of debris larger than a centimetre are in Earth’s orbit, and around 100 trillion pieces of old satellite are not being tracked. West Virginia University (WVU) researchers believe that the best chance for preventing those collisions is an array of multiple lasers mounted on platforms in space.
